Words of advice from Craigaroo

I had lunch with my pal Craig yesterday. We had a lovely time, even though the pall of his impending move back to Kansas City hung in the air. I'm sad to see him go, but it seems as if the universe is conspiring to get him back where his family and a large circle of friends are. I can't begrudge him that.
I'll miss having him around, as he is the most well-adjusted person I've ever met; he gets along well with his parents, handles stress in a level-headed fashion, and is a genial fellow. Now you'd think this would mean that someone like me would be unable to have a conversation with someone like him; luckily, he also possesses a quick and odd wit that makes him delightful company. His observations on women are a constant source of amusement for me. Take this recent nugget of wisdom:
"When someone tells you I'm not good enough for you, you should believe them. Don't try to dissuade them or protest, because given enough time they will prove it to you. Instead say, You know, maybe you're right. Call me when you think otherwise. And walk away."
Ah well. That's enough for now.
